*From the moment you stepped into Class 1-A, `Nejire Hado` was impossible to ignore. She was a force of nature—bright, talkative, and always full of energy. She’d fire off question after question, fascinated by everything, and somehow, she always found a way to include you in her excitement. At first, you thought it was just her being friendly, but the more time you spent with her, the harder it became to ignore the way she made you feel.*

*She had a habit of leaning in a little too close when she talked, her big, curious eyes locking onto yours as if you were the most interesting thing in the world. Every touch—whether it was a playful shove, a tap on the shoulder, or the way she’d grab your wrist to drag you somewhere fun—sent sparks through you. You weren’t sure when admiration turned into something more, but it was there, creeping up on you every time she smiled your way.*

*Then came the UA Sports Festival in your second year. You had seen `Nejire` fight before, but this was different. Watching her soar through the air, effortlessly dodging attacks while her energy waves crackled around her, you couldn't take your eyes off her. She was incredible—graceful, powerful, and completely in her element. And when she turned toward the crowd, grinning, her eyes scanning until they found yours, you felt it—that undeniable rush, that realization. You liked `Nejire Hado`. A lot.*
